The document discusses the generation gap between older and younger generations, particularly in the context of technology and education. It notes differences in manner of dressing, socializing, courtship, and marriage between old and new generations. In education, a large gap also exists due to differences in access to technology between schools in developed and developing countries. To bridge this gap, the document argues that schools need to incorporate technology skills and address differences in values systems, as the new generation will face a digital future. It emphasizes that technology skills must be taught in schools today otherwise schools will fail to prepare students.

2. The older generation often feels there
is a generation gap between them and
younger generation. This is apparent in
simple things like the manner of dressing,
socializing, more intimate relationship like
friendship and marrying, etc.

11. In the field of education, a huge
generation gap also exists and it will continue to
widen unless some changes are adopted at the
proper time. In peasant third world countries
where school don't have technology facilities, it
is understandable that the transition to digital
may take time.

12. But given the rapid emergence of
digital technology, as times referred to as
information and communication
technology (ICT), there is a need to prepare
the bridging the digital gap in society.

13. First, we need to understand the potentials
of (ICT):
• The network of instantaneous
communicationis global, overcoming
borders between countries and
continents.

14. • Much of what elders
believe may not be
applicable anymore to the
new generation,
especially along matters
of traditional value
system.

15. • Alvin Toffler's book, Future Shock, shows how
the information age has begun to create man
cultural changes in the family, societies,
businesses, government such as what he calls
the throw-away society, modular man, kinetic
image, scientific trajectory, fractured family,
surfeit of subcults, psychological dimension,
etc.

16. Given the speed and power of ICT for change,
growth, innovation, it becomes critical that the
teachers understand the gap that may be
perceived between them and the new
generation of learners.

17. Even in communication, sending a
written letter has become tedious with the
advent of emailing and web-camera face-
to-face communication.

18. Since the new generations are expected to
face a future professional challenge of a digital
world ahead of them, technology supported
skills need to be taught in shools todays or else
schools wil become a white of elephant.
